agency budget.
Another recipient a g e n c y,
Bethel A.M.E. Day Care Cen-
ter, had their approved request
for $16,679 in CDRS funds slash-
ed to $11,120. The agency claims
that the cutback will cause a
"serious funding problem."
Mayor Wheeler "reluctantly"
supported the resolution, which
passed quickly 'in a 9-1 decision.
COMMENTING on the resolu-
tion, Wheeler said, "As I go
through, I find some things dif-
ficult to reconcile."
Wheeler expressed concern
that one agency serving 15
youngsters will receive $8,000,
while another whic haids 39
children will get only $4,000.
Elizabeth K e o g h (D - First
Ward), who voted to defeat the
resolution, likened it to an old
OEO (Office of Economic Op-
portunity) p r o g r a m helping
"middle class people maintain
their middle class status."
Ronald Trowbridge (R-Fourth
Ward) tried to dispel any notion
that there is a feud among
Democrats a n d Republicans
over CDRS.
"There is not a feud. There
is a hiatus. We made our rec-
ommendationsand they were
vetoed," he said.
TROWBRIDGE was referring
to a Republican-HRP sponsored
plan that would have allocated
the entire $2.4 million that the
city is eligible for under CDRS,
but which Wheeler rejected in
a September line-item veto.
